One kinda stupid question...wasn't that a "Buell" track day? Where's all the Buells?

Btw nice pics and form! You sir are shaping up to be an outstanding rider congratulations,sincerely!

Maybe it's just the angle of the camera but damn what is the banking in that corner in the second pic.

So when are you gonna let me ride the R6 and you hope on the 6R.

Think you edited this part in after... I'm quick haha

But really thanks... I have a shitload to work on... but have been happy with most of my progress. I think at this point racing is going to help my learning curve continue to steepen. Most of the things I need to work on are all about balls... so competition should help me with that.

Yeah the second pic is turn 6, 'the bowl', at NHMS... it's a doosey .... heavily banked especially around the apex.

At lightning the 3rd photo after the video is also pretty banked and a lot faster than the turns at NHMS... hard to tell speed from pics though.

Something's definitely wrong with your puck location.

Hahaha, seriously! His pucks are in the same place as everyone elses, but I've never seen anyone that was able to stick a knee out as far as Chris can...

Chris, are your hips double jointed?

I've moved them around quite a bit... still not quite comfortable with where they are. I don't know.

High rearsets + short legs make me a little awkward.

Hahahaha no I meant the dude on the FZ1... the four of us were in a line and we all came up on him mid-corner... that's why the group shot became possible.

My first set of leathers had the velcro in a slightly odd location. Plus, due to my newness to track riding, my body positioning made for some pretty odd puck patterns. I experimented with puck location and ended up having the pucks halfway off the velcro patch, but it worked to keep it centered. In my case, my form was awful. As I learned how to position my body, my pucks finally moved back to the center of the patch. Now, I'm not saying your form is bad, so don't take that from it. However, I am saying to not worry about whether the pucks are exactly in the center of the patch, because that doesn't matter. It looks like you need to move the pucks more to the inside of your knee, rather than the outside. Give it a shot and see how that works.
